I believe the Canadian Gov't has issued a travel advisory for Mexico.....I wonder if they are going to issue one for people travelling to Toronto, Edmonton & Vancouver?...

Very sad anyway.....I feel for his family.

another article.

Why was he wandering around on a busy street?

maybe a better question is, are Canadians kind of paranoid?

pushing for a travel ban to Mexico over three deaths in two years? That would be like Germany issuing a travel ban to the US over the rash of German tourist deaths from carjackings in Florida. It was a heck of a lot more than 3 people.

I mean, seriously. The Canadians now for over a year have been making it sound as though Mexicans are out actively hunting them for sport.

and I quote:

"There's no clear indication as to what happened and it seems like no one wants to help us find answers,'' DePrisco's aunt, Lucy Defilippis-Pannozzi, told The Toronto Star."

good lord, so then he must have been beaten to death? Gee, maybe he was blasted drunk, got tossed out and accidentally wound up in traffic? Seems like a heck of an assumption to me.

I feel as bad for the guy's family as anybody else, but let's not start a witch hunt here with nothing but conjecture.
